There are currently 20.5 million Heron Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as Heron Therapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 2% up from 20.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Heron Therapeutics shares can be evaluated.
Heron Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Heron Therapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Heron Therapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 864389.77702987). Heron Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 23.77. In other words for every 100,000 Heron Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 23770 shares are currently held short.
However Heron Therapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Heron Therapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Heron Therapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Heron Therapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.22% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Heron Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 220 shares are currently held short) or 0.2733% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Heron Therapeutics shares, roughly 273 shares are currently held short).
A SIR above 20% would generally be considered very high, pointing to a pessimistic outlook for the share price, with a discouraging number of investors currently willing to bet against Heron Therapeutics.

We're not expecting Heron Therapeutics to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Heron Therapeutics's shares were split on a 1:20 basis on 12 January 2014. So if you had owned 20 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Heron Therapeutics shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Heron Therapeutics shares which in turn could have impacted Heron Therapeutics's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Heron Therapeutics's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.13 up to $22.4. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Heron Therapeutics's is 1.3486. This would suggest that Heron Therapeutics's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
